> You expect US, Chinese, and Japanese citizens to respect an EU fine for a law they have no say in?

No. What is the EU going to do, besides nothing? If you do business in the EU they will take your business away, and if you don't there's nothing they can do. I'm sure we all break some foreign countries laws every day and there's nothing they can do about it.

I do expect fines to be handed to EU companies and I expect them to pay them though.

> I would venture most of the internet is not hosted in the EU

Most content isn't made in the US, and the US somehow still forced its copyright system on the world.
